Our flash-frozen fish is frozen at its peak, so the only way to lose quality is to thaw it badly. Slow and cold is the rule.
The Best Way: Overnight in the Fridge
Move the sealed fish from the freezer to a plate in the refrigerator the night before. Eight to twelve hours gives you an even, gentle thaw and the best texture.
The Fast Way: Cold Water
Short on time, keep the fish in its sealed packaging and submerge it in a bowl of cold water. Change the water every twenty minutes. Most portions thaw in thirty to sixty minutes.
What Not to Do
- Do not thaw fish on the counter at room temperature.
- Do not thaw in warm water or the microwave, which begins to cook the edges.
- Do not refreeze fish once it has thawed.
Once thawedPat it dry and use it the same day. For raw preparations, keep it cold and serve it promptly.
